Many people living in large houses over the age of 55 are considering downsizing. However successfully moving into a smaller property does need some careful consideration and research.
Before putting anything into motion make sure you know your figures – ask a local agent such as Goodfellows to provide an accurate valuation of your property. Then add to this moving fees, including conveyancing, estate agency fees, stamp duty and removal costs.
Check out house prices and availability in the area you want to move to, if you are planning on moving to a more expensive area a move might not deliver what you are hoping to achieve – do your research. One of the pitfalls of people downsizing is the fact that they are left with less money than they had anticipated. Goodfellows can help you calculate all of the costs.
Once you have set your downsizing budget, stick to it – it’s really easy to get carried away when looking to downsize, especially if you are used to living in a really large home. Most successful downsizing moves seem to be those people who move within a 5 miles radius of their current property, enabling them to stay close to friends and family.
Some of main reasons for downsizing include; cashing in equity on a current property, the prospect of a better lifestyle, reduced bills, moving closer to family, so you need to make sure that you create a list of all of the things you would like to achieve from downsizing so you can ensure your expectations are deliverable.
